Kasai-Oriental

Kasai-Oriental stretches across the central region with Mbuji-Mayi as its capital, encompassing forests, rivers, and mineral-rich territories within its boundaries.

The province emerged from administrative reforms in June 2015, following restructuring efforts to improve regional governance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Local communities maintain traditional practices through ceremonies, with the Luba people representing a major ethnic group in the administrative division.

The region contains diamond mines and agricultural lands, where farmers cultivate cassava, maize, and cotton as primary economic activities.

The territory houses numerous mining operations that extract diamonds and precious minerals, contributing substantially to the national mineral production.
